It always helps to talk to my brother. I was crying when I told him I took a full time position as a medical biller through a temp. agency. I told him how I felt when I took my drug test and he told me how the last 6 jobs he's had he had to take one including Stevens-Henager College and even Convergys when he first moved here. I used to tease him all the time for working there because I told him they'd hire anything with a pulse. He did that part time in addition to his full time job as a computer security analyst/auditor. I know he only made $12 an hour for that part time position.

He helped me put a lot of things in perspective. He told me a medical billing job for $13 an hour is good for a temporary job and that people with doctorate degrees have had to take positions for less to support a family. He reminded me that I don't and that although I am living with my mother now I don't have to pay rent or support a family.

True, although I made a lot more in Logan and could afford the nicest apartment out there AND to eat out whenever I wanted, I will actually have more disposable income living with my mother than I did there. I didn't really think about that. I don't have the bills I did there. Insurance and phone are the only things I pay now along with gas. Sooo I should be able to pay for my insurance now if this temp. agency is like ones I've used in the past that pay you EVERY week. I can confirm that Monday morning when I meet with Sophie.

I feel like this sort of landed on my lap. There were 3 other people in the interview with me. They all wanted full time. I was hired so soon because I insisted on part time and that's all that was available. Because I completed everything they asked if I could begin earlier since they needed someone right away as in Monday. My interview was Wednesday morning. Thursday they hired me officially for the part time 20-hour position. I was going to start on May 4th but instead they called me yesterday to see if I would take a full time stint starting Monday.

My CVLA presentation for ULA is on May14 in St. George. This will allow me to pay for a plane ticket because there is no way in hell I'm driving or riding there. I think it is extremely valuable for me to present at ULA especially since it is telling the story about how CVLA started because I am the one who started it AND I want EVERY library hiring manager in the state to know that.
